Why does she need to show her boobs ?

[crazedwitch2]

@thecrazydonut It is just one of many pictures of her that I like from the early eighties, her punk era! Although her most desperate era it was also her most creative. Broken English, Dangerous Acquaintances and A Childs Adventure are masterpieces.. This recording however is from the mid '70's

Hi PJ, thanks for your gentle advices - but when I look at all the crap (and I'm expressing myself very kindly) which is sold as 'World Acts' on today's stages and broadcast stations, I still prefer to trust my own ears.

This is a good cover. it closely follows Cat's original (which was perfection anyway) I like the double bass sounding instrument towards the end what is it?

Beautiful song and eloquently preformed by an amazing lady.

@thecrazydonut coz shes a woman - otherwise you may not notice

@roundtheblock1 Oh ok, thanks for comment to my comment it was very informative and taught me something I was unaware of. I think though her best material is what's under her clothing.

@nat00ben06 -- the song is nothing more than a lame minor scale riff. I like Marianne Faithfull's recordings of Brecht/Weill songs, and I think the "20th Century Blues" CD contains her best material.

@thecrazydonut -- Why shouldn't she show them? I have always liked her attitude.

[roundtheblock1]

@frittenfred -- The "World" is too much with us, late and soon. But "World Music" is a commercial marketing category, or bin, like any other. Same goes for "Alternative" -- even though the name suggests that it is pitched to people who perhaps like to think of themselves as beyond categorization. Been there, done that, wore the T-shirt.

@ mtheaney -- That was precisely my point. His only reasonable defense is insanity.

[mtheaney]

@roundtheblock1 That's Mr. Islam to you. 

[nat00ben06]

No she doesn't possess the passion and ability to make a song such as this worth more then one listen, sad but MF is best known as Micks' man squeeze for a few years. Musical she aint!
